Volunteering for the Co-op gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Yesterday they won the approval for the new student housing plan from city council. Yay!
And today I went around and took some photos of their houses for the website, which could use some sprucing-up.

    post they fight crime!

    I just found this link on Ben’s blog and had to share it. They fight crime! Par exemple:

    He’s a short-sighted overambitious paranormal investigator moving from town to town, helping folk in trouble. She’s a bloodthirsty Bolivian femme fatale with a song in her heart and a spring in her step. They fight crime!


    post that’s how they do it in warsaw

    Title of a random song playing on this computer right now. Not my CD.

    Got a cool new multi-use writing tool yesterday from my dad: the Sanford PhD Multi. Stylus, ballpoint pen, mechanical pencil in one. Nice.
    Thanks dad.

    Went out and bought an electric hair trimmer yesterday, and let Sandy cut my hair short. It looks and feels so much better now. She did an excellent job too. Sadly, we also found out yesterday that a friend of ours has been hospitalized. We’re going to see her today. I had to clear my schedule so I could go with Sandy though.

    And I thought my exams were bad: my sister has to take sixteen hours of exams to finish her jewelery and gemstone course. Ouch. Good luck.

    What else… lots of stuff to talk about right now. On Saturday Sandy helped me come to the realization (for only the third time in my life, I think) that my computer takes up too much of my time. So I didn’t use it at all on Sunday until I got my schoolwork done. And that’s how my large chunks of time are going to go from now on.

    More “magnetic” poetry from my elementary symbolic logic class this morning:

    I should start 
making my own plugins for this program...

    • Combine as many operations as possible onto a single form, to make adding things easier.
    • Integrate file uploading maybe.
    • Add lots of sanity checking.
    • Find volunteers to add all this info.

    post Things from class

    I made poetry. Positronic.

    It's fun!

    post What else can we learn from dumb university students?

    I guess this really doesn’t reflect well on my fellow students, but some of this stuff is too good to pass up. Let’s have a lesson in microwave safety:

    Jan 12 0237 Report of a small fire in a microwave oven in Addington Hall. ACTION: Guelph Fire and University Police attended. Damage caused by activating empty microwave. People: microwaves are capable of concentrating a large amount of microwave energe in order to heat things. If you don’t put something in the microwave to be heated, then when you turn it on, it will start heating itself. In case you haven’t noticed, most microwaves are not made out of a metal alloy with a high melting point. Plastic burns. Thus endeth the lesson.
